All MPS district offices will be closed July 1-6, 2025. We will reopen Monday, July 7. Enjoy the holiday week and stay safe!

Attention All Students, Parents, and Staff: From June 28 through July 6, all District Athletic facilities will be off limits to students entering grades 6-12 due to the OSSAA Dead Week. During this time, there can be no contact between Coaches and Students, and no use of District athletic venues for athletic instruction, training, or participation. Coaches are allowed to perform maintenance tasks such as cleaning storage areas, mowing fields, and office work during this period. However, all athletic facilities will be completely off limits to all 6th-12th grade students to avoid negatively affecting eligibility for both Coaches and Students. Thank you for your cooperation!

What an incredible summer at Rougher Rise 5.0! Our students explored, created, and made so many memories. A big thank you to the staff who made it all happen and to the students who showed up ready to learn and have fun. We’re already looking forward to next summer! 💚 #TheMuskogeeWay
